Darlington was a crucial part of our show, and it's fitting we came here. So much history has been made at Darlington and to run here and be here today is pretty special. |
Definitely I think our No. 1 singles in boys and No. 1 doubles teams have a shot at getting to the state tournament. Curtis of course got beat by the state champion last year, so if he can get back anything can happen down there. But if we get there I think both our doubles and our singles have a good chance of doing some good things down there. |
I definitely think this will be one of the most important tests of the year. Daytona was important but we only run a couple of those tracks. A large percentage of the tracks we run this year will be 1.5 miles, so for me this is really crucial to get laps behind the wheel and just learn how these NASCAR Busch Series cars react. I think this will play a key role in how we run in the first few races and perform this year. |
It wasn't for team-wise, but individual-wise going into the district tournament it was big. Because Curtis and James will probably be fighting for the district championship, so it was a big match in that sense. |
That's what makes Darlington different from everywhere else. You're not just driving against other drivers; you're racing the track just as much as anybody else. Put those elements together, and that's what's challenging. You have to relish the challenge. |
